KICKR SETUP
Place your KICKR on a stable, level surface and open the legs by (1) pressing
down on the blue leg-lock tabs and (2) pivoting the legs outward until they
snap in place.
(NOTE: Ensure the leg-lock tabs have popped back up and secured the legs in an
open position.) (3) Use the included AC power adapter to connect the trainer
to a standard wall outlet.
Download the Wahoo Fitness app for free from the Apple App Store or from the
Android Google Play Store.
Follow the in-app setup guide to complete your profile and pair sensors.
To stabilize the trainer, adjust the two leveling feet (4) by twisting them
left or right until the trainer is level and (5) lock them into place by
tightening the blue locknuts against the KICKR leg frame.
( NOTE: Check that your trainer is stable before every ride; if needed re-
adjust the leveling feet.)
Adjust the height of the trainer to fit your specific wheel size by (6)
relocating the height adjustment knob on the center leg to the appropriate
setting. If you are unsure of your wheel size, check the tire sidewall or
consult your local bike shop.
FOR 130MM OR 135MM QUICK RELEASE
Adapters Needed: A and B
KICKR comes pre-configured out of the box for bicycles with 130mm quick
release spacing. If you have a bicycle with 130mm spacing proceed to
“Attaching your Bicycle”.
For 135mm spacing, remove the quick release skewer, reverse Adapter B, and
reinstall the quick release skewer.
FOR 142MM OR 148MM THRU-AXLE
Adapters Needed: C and D
To be used with the 12mm thru-axle supplied with a bicycle.
ATTACHING YOUR BICYCLE
Shift your bicycle chain into the smallest sprocket in the front and rear, then remove your rear wheel. Install your bicycle on the KICKR by aligning the chain with the smallest sprocket on the KICKR and pressing down to fully seat the dropouts on the KICKR’s axle.
For bicycles with quick release – Secure your bicycle by tightening the quick release acorn nut and clamping the quick release lever shut.
The quick release lever is “open” when it curves away from the bicycle frame
(1); the lever is “closed” when it curves towards the bicycle frame (2). The
handle of the quick release skewer is always on the non-drive (noncassette)
side of the KICKR. Only use the provided quick release skewer while using the
KICKR.
For bicycles with thru-axle –
Secure your bicycle by reinstalling your bicycle’s thru-axle (3) and
tightening it to manufacturer specifications (4).
CAUTION! Failure to properly tighten the quick release skewer or thru
axle may result in property damage or personal injury. If you are unsure of
the proper tension, please consult your local bike shop or contact Wahoo
Fitness for assistance. Do NOT ride the KICKR until the quick release skewer
or thru axle is tightened.
PROTIP: Lift the front wheel up while pressing down on the saddle to
ensure the bicycle is fully seated on the trainer.
COMPLETE YOUR SETUP USING THE WAHOO FITNESS APP
SPINDOWN: Before using the KICKR for the first time you should perform a
spindown to calibrate your device. Additionally, a spindown should be repeated
approximately every 2 weeks through the Wahoo Fitness App to ensure the most
accurate power data.
START A WORKOUT: From the workout, the screen selects the green “Start”
button to begin the workout. Swipe right to view the KICKR page. This page
enables you to view your workout and control the KICKR.
KICKR WORKOUT MODES:
The Wahoo Fitness App has the following workout modes that you can use to
control your KICKR:
LEVEL: Just like riding on a fluid or wind trainer, the faster you go,
the harder it gets. The level you select determines the progression of your
power curve.| RESISTANCE:
This allows you to set the resistance of the brake anywhere from 0 to 100%.
Regardless of speed, the brake will remain set until you decide to change it.|
ERG: Set your desired power, the KICKR will increase or decrease the
resistance to maintain a constant power output, regardless of speed.|
SIM: Enter your weight, bike type, riding position, headwind, and grade
and the KICKR will accurately model the power curve just as if you were riding
outdoors.
